What now?

Ever have one of those days/weeks/months/LIVES where it seems everything goes wrong?

Found out today that my elderly Grandfather was being put in hospice. He's almost 97 and has really gone downhill over the last year or so.

I re-read the email a couple times, swore outloud and much to my own chagrin cried. My boss happened to be in my office at the time. He im'd my buddy down the hall and told her to take me out of the office for awhile and see if that would help. She thought he was joking and said she was feeling bad too and wanted a beer. He said take her out and you two go do that! LOL What a guy.

I talked to my Dad who is down there now with him and my Aunt and heard just how bad he is. COPD, pneumonia, high WBC, poor breathing, semi-comatose. I also spoke to my Mom and had another good cry. It's bad. They're not thinking he'll last more than a week.

Gramps - I remember you taking my hand in New Hampshire in your garage on Juniper Lane up in North Hampton and asking me if I would like a milkshake. At the time you were putting away golf balls and my 4-year old immature mind thought for some reason that milkshakes were made with golf balls. I always found that intriguing and have a little smile when I think back on that. Granny will be so pleased to see you again after 19 years of being apart. You will always be someone I'll look up to...if we don't meet again in this life, I'll be looking for you in the next.
